Hi Im doing a house model for a company, i made everything in autocad architecture, when i press the render button it works out very nice.

Now I wonder if it's possible to make it rotate? I've seen a cupple of sites that have this neat flash rotating picture. I'll link some pages;

(Swedish site tho, just press and drag on the image)

 Try using vports and in each vport change the view.

Can you give me a example? Never used the vport command before. I'm able to download dwg files.

Thanks tho.

I am using AutoCAD Map 3D 2008.  What I can do is go to View>3D Orbit>Free orbit which brings the screen to a 3d view where you can rotate the view of your house.  Then you can right click in the screen and go to ‘Other navigation Modes’ and hit ‘continuous orbit’ and then click and drag you mouse and let go to start the rotation.  There are also some animation recording options in there as well but I have not used them.  Could be a starting point.

Thanks for a good answer, feels like im going somewhere now. But are you able to open your dwg file into autocad map? Because I dont want to draw it up all over again.

AutoCAD Map 3D 2008 is just AutoCAD 2008 with some added mapping and GIS capabilities.
